FARM LANDS AND TARIFF.
Judge Keney's Glowing Assertions of
Tariff Benefits Analysed.


The proponents of the tariff humbug at
one time admitted that protection placed
some burdens upon farmers, but they as
serted that that element was gamer by
reason of the fact that the "creation" of
pauper industries made market st home
for grain, butter, chickens and garden
truck. Leaving out of sight the fact that
this brilliant scheme Confers undoubted
advantages upon the few, and leave the
many to hunt around tor the doubtful
benefits which they ere to have, if they
can find them, it rests with the advocates
of the tariff to prove that under its work
ings there has been any improvement in
the condition of the farmers in the re-
gions where the protected smoke stacks
pierce the heavens. This cannot be doness
A few days ago Judge Kelley of Penn
sylvsnia returned from the south with q
glowing account of the prospects which
the introduction of certain tsriff-pam
pered industries in that region held out
to the agriculturists in the neighborhood.
There would be an increased demand for
their products, and they, ss we'll SIS the
mill owners, would get rich. Now. if
there is anything in this stupid assertion
proof thereof should be found in the
state of Pennsylvania, which is the chief
beneficiary of the tariff. In that mo-
nopoIy-ridden commonwealth, where
few railroad and manufacturing
corporations control executive offices,
Legislatures and courts agriculture Is in
the most depressed condition TO be seen
anywhere in America. Not only has there
been q steady decline in the value of
farm lands, but there has been also
steady decline in the wages paid to farm
hands and in the percentage of farm pro-
duction TO farm value. The primary con-
ditiOn of all trade and industry is free.
1t devolves upon the men who argue that
il should not DC free to prove that they
have improved matters. They cannot
cite Pennsylvania in proof of anything eX-
cept the monumental fact that poverty is
becoming more and more AFFECT aud
riches more and more autocratic.
The decline in farm values in the coun-
ties Of Lancaster, Chester, Montgomery,
Dauphin, Westmorelsnd, Blair, Indiana,
Cambria, Huntington, Perry, Mlftlin and
Juniata, some of the best in the state of
PENNSYLVANIA, from 1870 to 1880, ranged
from 81 an acre to S55 an acre, and
amounted in the aggregate to S65, 100000.
The appreciation in the paper currency
of the country may be looked to for an
explanation of q small portion of this de-
cline, but not for all of it. That the same
tendency has been exhibited since the
paper question went out of existence is
proof that In country rich in protected
milliOnaiTes and pauper wOrkingmen agri
culture finds no COmpensations for the
undOubted, and and at one time admitted,
burdens which protection places upon It.
The tax returns of the state show these
facts

FORT WORTH, Tex, May 29.-The in
land cities of Texas have proited to q
greater extent, believe, by the booms
which have visited the state, than have
the Gulf ports. While Galveston has
grown, the interior cities have lOurished.
Fort Worth is one of the best known
cities in the state, and the very much
alive people who form its business COM
munitV are deter mined that her fame
shall extend further, and her greatness
as railroad and business center be more
increased.
Fort Worth is blessed with staunch
ally in THE GAZETTE, a seven-column,
eight-page daily paper, which is managed
on broad-gauge principles, and is a re-
markedly newsy and ably edited paper.
1t is the property of the business men of
Fort Worth. From advance sheets of g
mammoth edition which it will issue
soon, l have obtained q good deal of in
teresting data about the city eleven years
ago. The first railroad craWled like
small to the corporation limits, and to-
day the seventh railroad stretching away
Ito the southwest is being lronsd. Eleven
years ago the total valuation of the town
tVtdS ItlfOuuu uutubSiSJ S-OOIOOOI IO-Nay
ii is about S6,O0O,OO0, an increase of 2400
per cent. in little over decade. Eleven
years ago 1900 people was the sum total
of its population, to-day its inhabitants
approximate 10000, al increase of 1000
per cent.
The city has just secured the St. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas, or Cotton Belt
Line" road of great importance and
one which as yet does not reach Dallas,
which city Fort Worth is striving to
outgrow.
The streets Of Fort Worth are among
the finest in the country, and are paved
with gravel taken from the neighboring
hills, thrown on the sandy ground TO 9
depth of ten or twelve inches. This
street does not cost above $1,000 per
mile, and is easily maintained at small
expense for long number of years. s.
The following is a table of the values
in different years, sufficient in themselves
TO show the steady increase: ga '..fi

What was In the Gala Lily
New York sun.

NtW 1UTh sun.
A gentleman on his way out of the
Broadway theatre between acts asked
lady if he could do anything to relieve her
WEAKNESS. She said: dyes; lust do as
well by me as you would by yourself"
He did. On his return he laid a pretty
bunch of flowers on her lap, and, when
their extraordinary weight aroused her
attention, behold, cunningly fasl ened by
q wire in the centre was a half pint pump
kin seed bottle. Through the cork, into
the heart of Gala lily, went g straw.
With what wealth of admiration for
mans invention did she hold the fragrant
bouquet to her pleased face! The bar
that has got up this novel way of intro
ducjng mild cocktail to g lady will
doubtless prosper.

Here has been decline in five years of
So, 900, 900 in the value of farm lands in g
state where there is more protection to
the square inch than there is in any other
commonwealth in America. If protection,
as 8 system, was of benefit to farmers
the Pennsylvania farmers should be the
most prosperous IN America, and their
lands should be increasing instead of de-
cliIiug in values. Pennsylvania is one Of
the richest agricultural regions in the
world, yet the value OF its farm
lands declined 10 per cent. from
1870 TO 1880 not only, but at the
close of that period the percentage of its
farm production value of products) to
farm value fell below that of every other
state in the Union. So that the states
own official statistics show that dollar
invested in agriculture in Pennsylvania,
the headquarters of the tariff monopo-
lists, yielded smaller return than the
same investment in any other American
state.
As the Herald has said, it is the duty
of the impudent agents Of the tariff mo-
nopolists to prove that their nostrum is
of benefit to the farmer who is compelled
to take it. In the face IF the facts it is
not surprising that they do not attemptit.

Hottie Green's hatred of Reporters.

Mrs. Hettie Green, the Wall street

question to the lsndlady is, care there
any reporters in the house?" If not she
inquiries, "Have any reporters ever lived
in the house?" If such q disaster has
occurred to the landlady, Mrs. Green cares
not TO hear when it happened: the mere
fact that reporters nave had q hsbitatiOn
in the house is enough. She says, 'Good

FORT WORTH HTHE CHICAGO OF TEXAS"
San Antonio Times: Some cities grow
because they can't help it; others are
made by outside influences; Fort Worth
has made itself. With rich and power
full rival at it's very doors, it has resolute
Iy pushed ahead and carved out for itself
q destiny, the most brilliant in Texas.
No invidious distinctions will be drS wn bxS
the Times, but it would be worse then
Injustice not to recognize the Hsplendid
triumphs of the Chicago of TexasS With
sharp competition at every point, the
men of Fort Worth have banded them-
selves together, locked their shields eas4
did the Spartan phalanX, and moved to
victory wherever victory was to be gain
ed. The oriflamme of Peter Smith, like
the helmet of Navarro, has always been
in the van and wherever he has led the
hosts have followed, and yet the success
Of the Panther City has not been due
clone TO one man. There has been rare
combination of business talent and it has
worked together. The outcome of its
efforts is seen in splendidly paved streets,
elegant buildings and nine railroads.
There is no evidence apparent that
there is an unusual amount Of capital in
Fort Worth. San Antonio could proba-
bly, show five times as much. Capital in
the former city has been available for all
pubic purposes. 1t has been at the COM
mand of enterprise of every description.
A spirit of indomitsbIe pluck has called
it forth 1t has been so wisely used as to
put The success Of its city beyond the
problemstic stage, and TO fix, for all time,
the bermanency Of the institutions it has
buff up.
b. A visitor to Fort Worth, who mingle
with the business men, soon catches the
spirit OF their enterprise and understands
what has secured their phenomenal sue
cess. a person at distance cannot I'M
deTstand it.
While the Times desires for Fort Worth
large and increasing success, 1t cannot
but wish that the vim and unity of the
''Panther Village" were combined with
the capital of the Alamo City. Then We
would see q boom that would come to
stay. Let US hope for the contamination.
